Membership

We are first and foremost a tennis club. We have a total of 37 courts, including 19 lighted outdoor clay courts, 8 unlit outdoor clay courts, 5 outdoor hard courts, 4 of which are lighted and 5 indoor hard courts. Our outdoor and indoor courts are maintained to impeccable standards. Our pro shop offers the finest selection of racquets and accessories in town as well as a knowledgeable staff. Our tennis professionals, each certified by the U.S.Professional Tennis Association or the Professional Tennis Registry, are highly experienced, award winning and eager to help you make the most of your game.

What good is a killer backhand if no one is on the other side of the net? At Olde Providence, we do everything in our power to help members find partners and keep the ball in motion. We have North Carolina’s most active adult league program and the most players per age group and skill level of any club in the Southeastern United States.

If you’re not in the mood for tennis, how about Paddle, a work out or a swim? We offer two, LED lit Paddle courts. Our fitness center is top tier, complete with personal training and group exercise programs. We have a Junior Olympic-sized pool that’s perfect for lap swimmers who like to cool off and work up a sweat at the same time. For the young-at-heart we have a two-sided slide and diving board. Our toddler pool is zero-entry with multiple water features. We think you’ll find there is something for everyone!

OPRC is not just for adults. Once they’re ready, the kids will find plenty to do at Old Providence. We offer Summer camp to kids starting at age 5. Our Junior Development program delivers year- round tennis instruction for kids 5 and older. We have a swim team for the 18-and-under crowd. We even offer childcare. No sitter? No problem. Our Kids’ Club offers professional child care so moms and dads are free to enjoy club facilities.

We like to help members get to know one another off the court as well as on. A full calendar of special events creates plenty of opportunities. Some events are planned in conjunction with league activities or the high-profile professional tennis tournaments we host. Others, like our Oyster Roast and Pig Pickin’ are just for the fun of it! Members may also rent the clubhouse and throw parties of their own.

We are proud of our amenities but we are proudest of our club’s constant drive to do more for our membership. That focus has won Olde Providence recognition from the United States Tennis Association at both the state and regional level as Member Organization of the Year.
